While prices on everything are rising,
all of us at Neruda Arts are furiously trying to keep our festivals free.
because the arts should be accessible to everyone!
Join us and get your Latin Groove on. Dance the night away while supporting one
of the Waterloo Region's best-loved festivals. Take part in the silent auction.
Enjoy the fares.
This might be our most challenging year yet. Funds are limited. The economy is dubious.
People are stressed. Not only does attending give you the opportunity to support Neruda Arts, and connect with other interesting and like-minded people, and have a really excellent time, but it keeps our festivals free, making sure everyone
is able to attend.
It is a time when everyone’s soul needs to be soothed by music.
Was born into a musical family in Havana, Cuba. In the history of Salsa, not all ‘Salseros’ have been men. There are some exceptions to that rule, and Marta Elena is one of them. Singer, Composer, Percussionist and Band leader, Marta Elena belongs to a new generation of Cuban musicians who honour the island nation's Afro-Latin musical roots while looking for unique ways to express the music that courses through the veins of the country. Marta performed with the famous Cuban female band, Anacaona, and toured extensively with the Caribbe Girls female band.
After moving to Toronto in 2011, Marta is in demand, performing with the who-is-who in the Canadian scene, and has had notable performances in Canada, USA and Europe. Marta Elena’s Sextet performs original compositions with the pattern of Cuba's Golden Age of music, fused with Jazz influences and Cuban classics.
